This film is a very fun time. Sonic and Tails are a delight, Knuckles is epic and the action is great. Jim Carey's energy is amazing as Robotnik and the humour is pretty solid (although its missing the more witty humour the first had at times).
However, the film is slightly ruined by the humans. Tom and Maddie are fine and are hardly in the film.
But the entire film is utterly dragged down by a 15 minute sequence in the middle involving the bride raging at her wedding being crashed. When Sonic, Tails, Knuckles or Eggman don't appear for 15 minutes straight, something has gone wrong. The acting was horrendous in this scene and it was as if an awful cheesy romance film was shoved into a Sonic film.
The third act regained some momentum but it started to drag on by the end. If the wedding scenes didn't happen, the pacing would be fine.
Sonic becoming Super Sonic was epic, although its weird Robotnik's fate is unclear. The ending was very sweet as well.
And that post-credit scene... wow!
Overall, Sonic 2 is a fun time but when I rewatch it I'll be skipping the human scenes.
